Installation and Configuration

WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, review the safety

instructions that came with the system.

Unpacking the System

Unpack your system and identify each item.

Installing the Rails and System in a Rack

CAUTION: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating

ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient.

Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an

environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)

specified by the manufacturer. For more information, see "Technical

Specifications" on page 7.

Assemble the rails and install the system in the rack following the safety

instructions and the rack installation instructions provided with your system.

4 Getting Started With Your System

Connecting the Power Cable(s)

Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF postion before connecting the

power cables. Connect the system’s power cable(s) to the system.

Securing the Power Cable(s)

Bend the system power cable(s) as shown in the illustration and secure the

cable(s) firmly to the bracket using the provided strap.

Plug the other end of the power cables into a grounded electrical outlet or

a separate power source such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) or

a power distribution unit (PDU).

Getting Started With Your System 5

Turning On the System

Press the power switch to the ON position. The power indicators should light.

NOTE: Ensure that the storage enclosure is connected to the server and the mode

switch set to split or unified mode before turning on the system.

Installing the Optional Bezel

Install the bezel (optional).
